as for PAYG, WTF do you think turning up at
station, buying ticket, getting on train is - the railways got
the hang of PAYG travel over a 100 years ago!

Chorus: "Oh no they haven't". Witness when I turned up at Gatwick
station on an unexceptional mid-evening recently, to find a queue
six-deep at every ticket machine.
